    front passenger (right side) door handle/armrest replacement

    Passenger door handle/armrest...the little white clip broke. I went through this years ago, and cannot for the life of me remember where I got the replacement! So...I ordered one from Amazon. $61.00 delivered. It got here today. It's the right color (dark gray), but the grain pattern was...

    Brake lights somehow tied into Cruise Control? - SOLVED

    Actually, I did wonder if the stalk lit up, but I know now that it doesn't, never did. (I've only owned this Tahoe for 7 years LOL!) I just forgot! And yes, when I turn on the CC now, the indicator does light up on the dash!

    Brake lights somehow tied into Cruise Control? - SOLVED

    OH...I forgot to point out something important about this particular job...and my Tahoe. My '03 Tahoe is a LT...has pretty much all the options, including the power adjustable foot pedals, and THAT is a big help on this particular job, because everything that is needed to be done is accessed...

    Brake lights somehow tied into Cruise Control? - SOLVED

    UPDATE: Last night I got under the dash while my girlfriend was behind the Tahoe...and I'd press the pedal and wiggle the switch and all 3 brake lights would go on and off intermittently, so that told me it was the switch that was bad. Went to O'Reilly today and got the switch...they had 2...

    Brake lights somehow tied into Cruise Control? - SOLVED

    So, I'm driving today and a guy pulled up next to me and motioned for me to roll down my window...and he told me my brake lights weren't working...neither left nor right nor 3rd brake light. So, I thanked him, came home and checked...all my other lights are working perfectly, but no brake...

    BLCKTEC 430 Reviews?

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this scanner, BLKTEC 430, that popped up in my feed today. It's one of those dongles that plugs into the OBD port and you get a full scan/readout on your iphone once you download their ap. Looks like it can do a lot for little $$...and no...

    Time for a tune up I guess.

    Fixed it! LOL...well, actually, it fixed itself! Started the Tahoe the next day and it's been working perfectly ever since!

    Time for a tune up I guess.

    OK...well THAT was interesting! #8 wasn't so bad after all. Me dropping the sparkplug and spending an hour trying to find it was the worst part. However, I not only found my sparkplug, but also a 10mm box end wrench I've never seen before, and a universal swivel thing for my socket set that I...

    OH...and here's what the 4 that finally came out look like...not bad, eh?

    Time for a tune up I guess.

    Well...after two hours I finally got 4 of the spark plugs and wires replaced, and I'm taking a little break to ask a question. Now, granted, I'm an oldER-school guy...my other car being a 68 Cadillac Coupe deVille, and on that car, you put the plugs in just tight enough to feel the crush...

    Also...thanks to all the help I receive here...I paid to be a supporting member...but I don't see the banner on my profile. I guess it takes awhile to update?
